Display device, user interface, and method for providing menus
First Claim
1. A display device comprising:
- a display unit that provides dual view display of an image;
a touch detecting unit that detects a touch operation on the display unit;
a touch-position detecting unit that detects a position of a touch on the touch detecting unit and outputs coordinate data of the position;
a display control unit that causes the display unit to provide dual view display of an image and display a menu image;
a menu generating unit that generates first and second top menus for independently performing operations on a plurality of images subjected to dual view display, each of the first and second top menus including a plurality of operational items; and
a control unit that performs control to display the first and second top menus in different positions on a screen of the display unit, the first top menu corresponding to a first coordinate data area and the second top menu corresponding to a second coordinate data area, wherein the control unit determines, based on whether a coordinate data of a touch detected by the touch-position detecting unit corresponds to the first coordinate data area or the second coordinate data area, which of the first and second top menus has been touched, and wherein the control unit enables operations on the one of the first and second top menus that has been touched, and disables operations on the other one of the first and second top menus that has not been touched.

Abstract
A display device may include a display unit, a touch detecting unit that detects a touch on the display unit, a touch-position detecting unit that detects a touch position on the touch detecting unit and outputs coordinate data of the position, a display control unit that causes the display unit to provide dual view display of an image and display a menu image, a menu generating unit that generates first and second top menus, and a control unit that performs control to display the top menus in different positions on a screen of the display unit, to determine, on the basis of the coordinate data from the touch-position detecting unit, which of the top menus has been touched, to enable operations on one of the top menus that has been touched, and to disable operations on the other one of the top menus.

6. A user interface of a display device comprising:
-
a display control unit that performs control to display first and second top menus for independently performing operations on a plurality of images subjected to dual view display on a display unit provided with a touch panel, each of the first and second top menus including a plurality of operational items; and a control unit that performs control to determine, on the basis of coordinate data of a position of a touch detected by the touch panel, which of the first and second top menus has been touched, and to enable operations on one of the first and second top menus that has been touched, and to disable operations on the other one of the first and second top menus that has not been touched. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A user interface of a display device comprising:
-
a display control unit that performs control to provide dual view display of an image from the same image source and display first and second top menus having the same content for independently performing operations on the same image source subjected to dual view display in different positions on a screen of a display unit provided with a touch panel, the first top menu corresponding to a first coordinate data area of the display unit and the second top menu corresponding to a second coordinate data area of the display unit, each of the first and second top menus including a plurality of operational items; and a control unit that determines, based on whether a touch detected by the touch panel corresponds to the first coordinate data area or the second coordinate data area, which of the first and second top menus has been touched, and controls the display control unit to display a sub-menu that depends on one of the first and second top menus that has been touched on the display unit provided with the touch panel.

13. A method for providing menus, the method comprising:
-
displaying, on a display unit provided with a touch panel, first and second top menus for independently performing operations on a plurality of images that are subjected to dual view display and displaying on the display unit provided with the touch panel, each of the first and second top menus including a plurality of operational items; determining, on the basis of coordinate data of a position of a touch detected by the touch panel, which of the first and second top menus has been touched; enabling operations on one of the first and second top menus that has been touched and disabling operations on the other one of the first and second top menus that has not been touched based on the determination of which of the first and second top menus has been touched; and determining which operational item on the one of the first and second top menus has been touched and displaying a sub-menu corresponding to the touched operational item on the display unit provided with the touch panel based on the coordinate data of the position of the touch detected by the touch panel. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
